California dreamin’, slight breeze streamin’
through the ocean waves of the Pacific. And I
am feeling terrific as I study the light almond flavored
sand and the smooth San Diego air
caresses the back of my hand. I am just close
enough to feel the slight spray of the ocean’s blue
dripping off the humidity -
passionately, like the first kiss of new lovers,
romance anew.
And I
look at my own lover, as he walks along
the traces of Coronado’s shore. He is mesmerized
by the allure of freedom’s smile. He is just a witness
watching children splash their laughter
against the sunburned bathers refreshed with drips
of sweat – eagerly anticipating the fluorescent winds
of a new sunset.
Although we are miles away from home, I, like my lover
is an admirer dreams colliding and smiles
introducing themselves to the open serenity
of a laid back west coast where minds descend freely
inside the embrace of relaxation and where
so many different backgrounds find a way
to find their inner similarities, and where lovers roam
inside the ease of each other’s hearts,
giving new memories a place to call home.
California dreaming’, my true love i’m feel in’
as he has come back next beside me
holding my hand in his,
staring out into the deepness of tomorrow
and the endless miles of the Pacific sea.
